Jeholaklm reigned six years after
he hud burned the roll of Jeremiah's
prophecies, wlili b, like the fubled
phoenix run uiit'W und fresh from
the ashes. He wan sluln In TiDT.
The llrat blow of the threatened
looin of Juduh hud fallen during the
fourth year of hi relsjn, the first toll
ing of the Lull of Judgment which
should have summoned the very dead
In ln to awake, llut they gave no
heed.
Jeholachln. his son, ascended the
throne, a bad, weak boy, utterly unlit
to cope with the situation. Ills reign
lasted ouly three months. Upon Je
holachln descended the full force of
the divine vengeance Incurred by
previous generations. He was scarcely
on the throne when the Chaldean
forces, which had been ravaging Ju
dea, were Joined by Nebuchadnezzar
himself, and closed around Jerusa
lem, and Jeholachln surrendered at
discretion. The arm of llabylon raised
to strike bis father fell on hitn, and
fulfilled the prophecy against Jehota
klm. "He sball have none to sit upon
the throne of David." Jeholachln was
kept a prisoner In Habylon for 37
years and was then released. Kzeklel
was carried away with him, and tho
greatgrandfather of Mordecul, Queen
lather's cousin.
This was the second blow of divine
Judgment, the beginning of the second
captivity, when 10,000 people were car
ried captive to Habylon. Among them
were the king's wives and officers,
and 7,000 that were strong and apt
tor war, and 1.000 craftsmen; and a
large part of the 6.400 vessels of gold
and silver from the Temple and pal
aces. ' The polloy of Nebuchadnezzar
was to remove out of the way all those
who might be able to organize a re
volt when he and his army had de
parted. Such men It would have been
dangerous to leave behind. It would
seem as If all this would have been
sufficient to prevail on the people to
repent and be saved.
Zedeklah, the brother of Jeholakln,
was placed upon the throne by Nebu
chadnezzar, "a shadow king over a
desperate band of men. During tho
first nine years of his reign the na
tion. Instead of embracing the oppor
tunity of repentance, plunged more
deeply Into folly. The dregs of the
people, left behind In Jeiusalem, laid
this flattering unction to their souls:
"We have been spared by Jehovah,
therefore we are righteous In hl
ght."
During a brief respite while Nebu
chadnezzar left Jerusalem free while
be fought the Egyptians Jeremiah
went forth out of Jerusalem to go into
Uie land of Benjamin. His home was
at Anathoth In Benjamin, three or
four miles north of the city. It was
apparently to secure his share of the
tithes and produce of the Levltical
glebe of the village, due to him as one
of its priests. Knowing that the Chal
deans would return, it was Imperative
thut he should obtain tV means of
subsistence to take buck Into the city,
o soon to be beleagured afresh. Oth
ers think It was to secure himself In
the possession of an' inheritance
There was a natural rush to get out
of the city after so long a confine
ment. Jeremiah went wl h the others.
When Jeremiah was In the gate of
Uenjamln, the north gat-e of the city,
tbut by which any one would go to
the country of Uenjamln which ad
Joined Jerusalem, a guar I said: "Thou
fullest away to the Chaldeans; you
ore trying to desert to the enemy."
Ills well known prophecies of the de
struction of the city, and advice that
the people should yield the city to the
Chaldeans, gave color to this accusa
tion. Then said Jeremiah: "False! A lie!
I fall not a way to the Chaldeans."
He was arrested by the guard, and
Drought to the princes, the officials of
the government, who were wroth with
Jeremiah. He had compared them to
rotten figs. He was the strongest and
most resolute opponent of their war
Dollcy. Hut for him they would have
had It all their own way.
Jeremiah was placed In a dungeon
under the prtson building. Jerusalem
was honey combed with subterranean
cisterns, vaulted or arched overhead,
and cublns. vault, the subterranean,
arched spaces of a cistern, containing
water.
At Inst Zedeklah, the king, secretly
took him out to Inquire: "Is there any
word from the Lord?" Jeremiah re-
tilled: "There Is" The word was:
"Thou shalt be delivered Into the hand
of the king of Ifubylon." At Jeremiah's
request, and to escape from the guilt
of being the murderer ot tne propnei,
Zedeklah had him cared for in the
court of the guard, and supplied him
with dully bread.
We are not all called to bo martyrs,
but all are called to have the martyr

SCENE AT WEDDING
Angry Mother Grabs Justice by

Makes Desperate Effort to Prevent
Marriage of Son In Public at Pic
nic Flying Wedge Formed
by Business Men.
St Louis. A public wedding at the
West End Business Men's picnic at
Normandy grove was almost prevent
ed by the determined mother of the
bridegroom, who tried to puil Justice
Werremeyer off the platform during
the ceremony as a last desperate re
sort. Uut he went ahead with the
ceremony and completed 1L
The principals In the wedding were
John Minstermann and Miss Minnie
Grochhowalski, both of 1304 North
Twelfth street, and the mother Is Mrs.
Roberts, who ban married a second
time. Her full name was not learned
by Justice Werremeyer or the officers
of the association.
Mrs. Roberta and an uncle of the
young man called Justice Werre
meyer up at noon at his home and
told him the young man was under
age. Mrs. Roberts said she intend
ed te stop the marriage if she bad to
go to law to do It. Werremeyer re
plied that if the marriage license had
been properly issued he would perform
the ceremony.
When Werremeyer reached the pic-
Ic grounds at 2:30 p. tu. he found
thut Mrs. Roberts had preceded him,
and was in the kitchen at the home
of Gene Guerre, proprietor of the Gar
en, arguing with her son and weep
ing.
The wedding had been set for
p. m., but tbere was so niucn trouoie
getting Minstermann away from his
mother that It was postponed until
p. m. The bride meantime arrays
ed herself in her wedding gown and
veil and waited in readiness.
Hy. sending a man to the Guerre
home with a fictitious message for
Mrs. Roberts that an officer of the
company wanted to see her, the young
man was for the moment separated
from her. About 100 business men
formed a flying wedge, and with him
In the center proceeded to the plat
form built for the ceremony. On the
way the bride was admitted to the
center of the wedge.
Mrs. Roberts, perceiving that she
bad been fooled, tried in vain to break
into the wedge.
The men In the wedge formed them
selves about the platform to guard it.
As Werremeyer started to pronounce
the ceremony. Mrs. Roberts cried loud
ly: "1 forbid this marriage," but he
paid no heed to ber.
Mrs. Roberts got to the edge of the
platform and caught Werremeyer's
trousers leg Itj an effort, to pull hlra
off. A man standing near him help
ed brace him. he says, and saved the
day. He shouted the ceremony and
got through with It without further interference.
The couple dined at the garden and
were brought in an automobile to a St.
Louis hotel. They received $100 for
marrying in public, transportation for
a trip to the lakes and a certificate
for furniture for a home on their
return.

CALL STUDENTS SOD BUSTERS
Amherst Girls Have New Name for

Clearer Distinction Needed.
Amherst. Mass. "Sod busters" Is

dlstWlon between the town's two
colleges has been Amherst and Am

The college girls decided that a
clearer distinction was needed be
tween mere aspirants for agricultural
lore and cultured youth striving for
athletic honors, and an "A. B." degree
as a side Inducement. "Sod buster"
answered all purposes, and also had
the advnntage of being expressive.
The Amherst man, the young wom
